O Rex Gentium (6th Antiphon):
"O King of the nations, and their desire, the cornerstone making both one: Come and save the human race, which you fashioned from clay."

C.S. Lewis in The Great Divorce. A Fantastic bus ride from hell to heaven - a round trip for some but not for others. 1945:
"Overcome us that, so overcome, we may be ourselves: we desire the beginning of your regin as we desire dawn and dew, wetness at the birth of light. Master, your master has appointed you forever to be our King of Justice and our High priest."

Holy Hermit St Herman of Alaska
“A true Christian is made by faith and love toward Christ. Our sins do not in the least hinder our Christianity, according to the word of the Saviour Himself. He deigned to say: not the righteous have I come to call, but sinners to salvation; there is more joy in heaven over one who repents than over ninety righteous ones... From these judgments a Christian should bring himself to hope and joy, and not in the least accept an inflicted despair. Here one needs the shield of faith.”
"From this day, from this hour, from this minute, let us strive to love God above all and fulfill God's holy will."
